It also known as the Jerusalem Synagogue because of its location on Jerusalem Street. It was built in 1906, designed by Wilhelm Stiassny and named in honor of the silver Jubilee of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria . The synagogue is designed in Moorish Revival form with Art Nouveau decoration, especially in the interior. It was lately renovated and still serves religious purposes. After the Czech Republic became independent of the Austro Hungarian Empire, it became more usual to call the synagogue the Jerusalem Street Synagogue . The synagogue preserves inscribed plaques removed from the former Zigeuner synagogue, demolished by the urban renewal campaign that was the cause of the building of the Jubilee synagogue. The facade and form of the synagogue are a hybridized blend of Moorish Revival and art nouveau , with Horseshoe arch es on the facade and on the interior columns supporting the women s galleries in a three bay building. The Mud jar red and white coursing of the stone facade is particularly striking. Inside, the Moorish elements are overlaid with brilliantly painted Art nouveau patterning. After a century of being open to the public as a house of worship, on April 1, 2008 the Jubilee Synagogue began opening its doors on a regular basis to tourists and aficionados of historic architecture. ref http www.praha.eu jnp en residents the jerusalem synagogue reopen to public.html ref References reflist coord 50 05 05 N 14 25 55 E type landmark source cswiki display title Category Religious buildings completed in 1906 Category 20th century synagogues Category Synagogues in Prague Category Buildings and structures ... de Jerusalemsynagoge fr Synagogue jubilaire nl Jeruzalemsynagoge pl Synagoga Jubileuszowa w ... more details
